Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Renovating the targa bar today. A new rear targa seal was the actual job i set out to do but, I think most of you have been there before. Am i right? There were a few little dings in the top of the bar so i've tapped them out. Bubs grade panel beating is about all i will attempt. The bar will be resprayed to gloss black but what should i do with the Targa badges? They were black and had never been removed just sprayed over last time. A bit of 'Lemon Peel' Stripper and they are pretty good apart from very minor marks. I think the flat chrome badges go with the wheels and will look good against the black background. Opinions? Thought about Yellow for 2 seconds then thought better.

POST 2Original post

Brushed/satin aluminium look personally, but chrome will also look good against the black

POST 3Original post

I suspect I will be in the minority but I would paint them black again.  Everyone knows its a Targa and black on black makes it subtle. Definitely not yellow, silver, platinum or flat chrome will decent against the black where as yellow will look a bit after market.

POST 4Original post

This is what a Targa bar is supposed to look like, silver or alloy with a gold badge, winner every time

POST 5Original post

My targa bar is black/black script. Looks good. Thought about gold. But would only, if I swapped in a linished bar cover

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cheers, I was joking about the yellow, just to get a rise. The car has been all de-chromed in the 1990s after import and full metal wide body and the 964 kit added. I would like to go back to an original look however the steepness of that slippery slope for this vehicle is daunting. I think it will stay as is for quite a while. Flat silver against the black bar will do. It does pick up the silver wheels. My main concern is getting it back to A1 mechanically, engine and suspension. I've got just the steering to address then she's a banger. The engine is the original 2.4 case but rebuilt as a 2.7 and it howls. The CIS system will get a full going over if i don't blow it up first. Must do something about a front spoiler before i go too fast again. Talking of slippery slopes, I'm thinking of swapping the mega wing for a ducksbum but then the bumpers/bodykit, where does it end. Divorce. She's still smiling at the moment.
